Roads of Sawdust.
A new plan of making roads in
Florida is sawdust mixed with
dirt. Two ridges of earth are
thrown up with a road machine at
the required width from each other
and the space between filled with a
six-inch bed of saw-dust. This is
followed with a smaller machine,
which plows up and mixes the
earth with the sawdust. This
makes a roadbed on which the
tires of the heaviest loaded vehicle
make no impression. The con¬
tractor has kept an accurate ac¬
count of expenses in connection
with this section of sawdust and
earth road and says the cost ag¬
gregates $237 a mile, showing it to
be about the cheapest road mate¬
rial in use. The road, besides, is
durable.
The News has seen the statement
that two such roads built in Geor¬
gia twenty years ago are now in
good condition.—Dawson News.
Representative Vinson, of Bald¬
win county, announces his intention
of introducing a bill providing for
the division of the school funds be¬
tween the races proportionate to the
amonnt of taxts paid by them.
The proposition has several times
been made. It is rather a dan¬
gerous thing to begin dividing the
school funds in this way. Suppose
some one next introduced a bill to
divide it between the counties in
proportion to their taxes. Where
would some of the counties be?
The question, of course, has more
than one viewpoint to it, and no
doubt the introduction of such a
bill will bring a thorough threshing
of the arguments in its favor and
against it.—Ex
The Washington Post insists that
no sentimental reasons will ever
lead this country into participation
in a war between England and
Germany. The United States will
fight only when its national honor
or interest is imperiled. It will
ever draw the line against being
entangled in a war in which the
American people have no direct
national interest. Sentimentally it
must not be forgotten that we have
a tremendous population that would
incline to Germany rather than to
Great Britain hi a struggle between
those nations.—Ex.

the price of a gallon of
paint is of no account.
What’s in it? There’s the
rub. The most-gallons
paint is three-quarters
not paint at all. The
least-gallons paint has
nothing in it but paint.
There’s butone—DEVOE.
